I can't update my Windows 8 Apps in start screen. Tried all steps and get stuck on this DISM Command. The /scanhealth completed successfully though but this /restorehealth didn't. It says DISM Failed. No Operation Was Performed. For More Information, Please Review the Log File.

    Method 3 also did not work for me. Please assist further. I can't believe the trouble I am having since I bought this machine in December. I've had to reset to factory image more times than I care to admit and I can't use a machine that I can't work on confidently. How many weeks do I have to go without Windows Updates? 

    I can't even stop it and try to restart it. Every time I open Windows Update it's checking for updates. Constantly.

    Good Day,

    I am experiencing the same issue under Windows 8 Pro. I can't run Windows Update or the Troubleshooter without error.

    Cheers,

    Keith

    I'm with you. I didn't get an error, actually. It just didn't work. Now I'm on this page http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2700567#top trying to see if that works. What the heck is going on??
